Summary Introduction
To review:
The tragic effects of excessive fat
Introduction:
Fats are the richest sources of energy and provide high chemical energy on oxidation. The rigorous oxidation of fats releases large amounts of energy, but this process also produces some intermediate undesired products. These undesired by-products are formed as a result of incomplete fat oxidation. The increase in the concentration of these by-products has deleterious effects on the organism.

During anaerobic conditions, lactate travels from the muscle to the liver via the
bloodstream. What is lactate converted into when it reaches the liver before it
returns back to the muscle?
Glucagon
Citrate
Acetyl CoA
Glycogen
Glucose
Brown fat is a specialized form of fat that has high levels of mitochondria that
contain uncoupling proteins. What does this allow?
A) The preferential metabolism of fat.
OB) Large amounts of ATP production.
C) Generation of heat.
OD) Extra glycogen storage capacity.
Lactose intolerance is caused by reduced production of the enzyme lactase. A variety of digestive system problems, such as celiac disease and Crohn’s disease) can also lower the production of lactase. If an individual produces low levels of the enzyme lactase, explain why they might be able to tolerate eating dairy products that contain lower levels of lactose (e.g., hard cheeses, feta cheese, and cottage cheese), but will not be able to tolerate foods with high levels of lactose (e.g., milk).

- Explain the function of brown fat. What does its mechanism imply about the effect of ATP concentrations on the rate of cell respiration?arrow_forwardSelect the correct answer: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) plays an essential role in an exercising muscle, especially when the level of excursion surpasses the ability of circulatory systems ability to supply adequate oxygen. What is the main reason LDH is so important to the muscle under these conditions? A)It removes excess lactic acid from the muscle to create pyruvate. B)It produces NADH for energy while converting pyruvate into lactate. C)It resupplies NAD+ to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. D)It decreases pH thus decreasing the dissociation rate of oxygen from hemoglobin. E)It produces one mole of ATP via substrate level phosphorylation.arrow_forwardAccording to current dietary recommendations, trans fat intake should be limited. How is this best accomplished? Group of answer choices Select foods containing manufactured rather than naturally occurring trans fats. Read labels to select foods that say “polyunsaturated fatty acid free.” Choose foods with <10% of calories from saturated fat per serving and no hydrogenated oils in the ingredients list. Use fat replacers, such as olestra, which provide the same nutrient content as regular fats without being saturated. Avoid all processed foods such as bakery items, packaged cookies, and store-bought bread.arrow_forward
